A DASTARDLY attempt was made the other day to blowup the London bridge, by dynamite, but fortunately the attempt was a (ailuro, although considerable dam- age was done. What will be the end of all these attempts to destroy life and pro- perty, through the ngeucy of the Land Leagues,. is. hard w say, It is quite cer- tain that the cause of Ireland will not be.• benefitted thereby, and if they go ou much longer hatred will quickly take the place of sympathy. •fi1L• (lift,) -rift car .:hop, and the Grand Trunk cai:she 1;s, Loudon, each employing formerly _)0O and 1.10 betide, solve dis- charged all tete nice, and shut down..

City council of Hamilton has ordered,It return of the value of all property in- than city exempted from assessment. .This is the first step toward taking action with a.vicw to the abolition of exemptions. If other towns and cities would follow suit, and secure a publication of theft, ures,-publiic, opinion would seen be aronsed ;t5 to the magnitude of the evil. A good many pco- pie have -a. very vague and shadowy -idea of the question, but if the amouut of the exempted property were plainly. set forth in black and white so that they could cal- culate the .extent to which their ta=pes aro•m increased by the operation of this syste of favoritism, they would .realize much more strongly than at present, its essential injustice. Exemption in any shape is a, wrong inflicted on• the balance of the community. . "• Tial: speeches delivered' by Sir John;'. while in the old country, have given rise to considerable discussion in this country, and well they might, for he said a good many things that will not stand scrutiny' and which appear to have been uttered without a moment's reflection as to their truth. Bystander, whish has usually -been. fitvorable to the.F.retnier, says of his speech at the Empire Club, that "some passages and *phrases do credit to the hospitality of the Tery club that dined him; only Under. g exhilarating influence can he have fancied that our Senate was a house of Lords,.. and that every educated man• who mine to Canada turned Conservative," and it' goes on to say that Sir John only commit. ell himself to the project of confederation in a champagne sense. .Bystander is lobe commended for the felicity' of its diction.
